Deeper than the Unknown

The idea for this track started with a tapping pattern which ended up being one of the recurring themes in the song (this can be heard right away at the beginning). I had been working on some new techniques and one of the patterns that I came up with turned out to have this really cool, complex sound. Initially, it was something fun to play with and double with a synth, but the longer I played it, the more entrancing it became. After recording the intro and hearing it back, the track took on a life of its own. The title did not come right away, but later as the track was being completed. Unlike the rest of LoE, 'Deeper than the Unknown' was written in a different fashion, and only afterwards gave way to deeper emotions and reaching inside for something unseen. The track has some haunting twists and turns and I think, lends itself to rather well to the mystique of the human psyche and ultimately, the soul. You never quite know what might be lurking in the depths of your subconscious . . .
